EPEL 5 vitality
 

Hi all,

first at all - thanks for providing this enterprise repository!


I just want to ask about the "vitality" of the EPEL 5 repo.

E.g.:

http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/x86_64/repoview/libstatgrab.html

http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/6/x86_64/repoview/libstatgrab.html


I thought that, if a package is in general also a EPEL package, then it is
build for all supported distributions. Of course, if the requires/dependencies of
a newer distro would make this "impossible", that this rebuild would be queued or excluded.


Just curious about the policy.

Thanks

The packages are built depending on the will of their maintainers. IF (
and only if ) there is a maintainer, there might be a package.
Therefore, depending on the interest of the maintainers, built attempts
exist ( or not )
